JERUSALEM, May 14, 2014 (WAFA) – The Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem demolished on Wednesday an aluminum workshop in the neighborhood of Ras Alamud neighborhood in Jerusalem, under the pretext of being built without a permit, according to the shop owner. 

Mohammad Jaber, the owner, told WAFA the demolished 100-meter-square workshop was established almost 10 years ago, and is considered the only source of living for four families.

He also added that he had paid more than $US 8000 in fees to lawyers in an attempt to delay the demolition of his shop in order to appeal against the demolition order in courts.

To be noted, WAFA correspondent said further demolitions are underway in other areas in Jerusalem, including Sha’fat, Beit Hanina and Jabal al-Mukabber.
